Caterham is making its Formula One debut this weekend as it partners up with Team Lotus.

The move comes after Caterham Cars was acquired by Team Lotus owner Tony Fernandes, and sees the F1 cars with Caterham logos painted down each side of the team's two cars.Caterham boss Ansar Ali said: "This is a monumental occasion for Caterham Cars. We are a niche low-volume sports car manufacturer and yet we are now a key partner for a Formula One team with an extremely bright future."But in terms of global visibility for the Caterham brand, you don't get much better than Formula One. Caterham has a long and distinguished history in grassroots motorsport but this puts the firm in front of a truly global audience to sit alongside major car brands including Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes-Benz."
